How often to water Euphorbia cyathophora 'King of Siam'
As a unique succulent plant variety, the watering management of Euphorbia cyathophora 'King of Siam' directly affects its growth condition. Many growers often cause root damage due to poor watering rhythm. This article will analyze a scientific watering plan based on the physiological characteristics of the plant.
Golden rules for watering frequency of Euphorbia cyathophora 'King of Siam'
Dynamic adjustment with seasonal changes
In spring and autumn growing seasons, it is recommended to maintain a watering interval of 7-10 days, watering thoroughly when the potting soil is completely dry. During the summer high-temperature dormant period, it should be extended to 15-20 days/interval, and in the winter low-temperature stage, it is necessary to strictly control it to more than 30 days/interval.
Moisture detection method of potting soil dry-wet cycle
Use a bamboo skewer to insert into the potting soil to detect moisture. If the top 3cm is dry, only a small amount of water is needed. When the middle layer is dry, half of the water should be poured, and when there is no soil attached to the bottom of the bamboo skewer, it can be watered thoroughly.
Professional watering techniques for Euphorbia cyathophora 'King of Siam'
Three-level infiltration irrigation method
1. Slowly inject 50ml of clear water along the pot edge to moisten the matrix. 2. After 5 minutes, pour 200ml to achieve middle-layer infiltration. 3. Finally, water with a fine mist until the bottom of the pot渗ates water.
Advanced maintenance precautions
Microenvironment control tips
After watering, it is necessary to maintain air circulation. It is recommended to turn on the circulation fan for 2 hours to accelerate moisture evaporation. Use a thermometer to monitor the water temperature, ensuring it is within the range of 18-25°C. In winter, pre-set the water for 12 hours to balance the temperature.
Water treatment plan
Rainwater collection needs to be filtered through activated carbon, and tap water should be exposed to sunlight for more than 48 hours. Use a citric acid solution (PH 5.5-6.0) to rinse the matrix every quarter to prevent salt and alkali accumulation.
